Yeshiva University Expands Health Campus in Manhattan

Yeshiva University has signed a 32-year lease for over 160,000 square feet at Herald Center in Midtown Manhattan, significantly expanding its footprint to establish a new health sciences campus. The university will occupy the fifth through ninth floors, as well as partial mezzanine and ground floor spaces, in a move aimed at enhancing its healthcare education offerings. This expansion follows Yeshiva's recent launch of graduate programs in nursing, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology. Herald Center, originally built in 1902 and recently renovated, is strategically located at a high-traffic intersection, providing easy access to public transportation. The transition comes after ASA College vacated the space in 2022, allowing JEMB Realty, the building's owner, to secure a long-term tenant. Yeshiva President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman emphasized the university's commitment to becoming a leader in healthcare education and contributing to the local community.
